Cooler Master Elite 130 Case Review

The Front Panel

The front panel of the Elite 130 is meshed at the center, with solid areas at the sides. At the left-hand side, there are two USB 3.0 ports and the traditional audio connectors for headphones and microphone. At the right-hand side, there is one USB 2.0 port, power and reset buttons, and the activity LEDs. There is a 5.25” bays at the top, and its cover uses the same pattern as the rest of the front panel.
